Check it:
- The Bees have grass roots organizations informing the general population of colony collapse disorder and how you can help.
- The Bees have inspired multiple viral youtube videos featuring K-Fed style bees dripping with hipster irony.
- The Bees' said youtube videos have been picked up by political bloggers.
- The Bees have a documentary in production that is sure to do well in the quirky-indie community ala Spellbound, which is about another kind of bee.
- The Bees have enlisted the help of corporate sponsors Haagen Dazs to rock a fancy website (because most of their ingredients also go extinct if the bee population dies off).
- My friend Christy even manages a super hip band called Bumblebeez.
Earth-land is headed for a major food crisis. One of the best things about the interweb is that it not only informs like traditional news, but also allows the user to take a step further and easily research how everyday peeps can help. With bees being a massive component of the food supply, it's a bummer that John McCain can't witness The Bees' online voices. Despite being the election year of 2008, a major candidate for president has self-described himself as "computer illiterate."
But don't worry, the McCain campaign's internet guru assured us that the Senator is aware of the internet.
And rest assured that the mainstream media has no intentions off of profiting from "the news." It's not like they're selling merch based on headlines or anything.
Don't get me wrong, I love merch and I love the shirt. Unfortunately, the above T was not produced and sold by The Onion. I wish the proceeds could be donated elsewhere.
But, as demonstrated above, The Bees are well aware of the internet. Thus, to raise funds to help save themselves, plants, and humans; The Bees are selling merch online too: http://www.printfection.com/honeybees.
